Pastor Chris
But even unto this day, when
Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to
the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:15-17).
When men don’t understand the Word of God, it’s because there’s a veil
covering their hearts. It’s like what happened with the Law of Moses, in the
Old Testament: the children of Israel couldn’t see the glory beyond the veil.
Our opening verse tells us that even until this day, when "Moses,"
that is, "the Law," is read, that veil is still present; it’s only
taken away in Christ. In other words, when you received salvation in accordance
with Romans 10:9, the Lordship of Jesus destroyed the power of darkness over
your life and took away the veil from your heart.
At the New Birth, you were catapulted into the Kingdom of Light; the
Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Colossians 1:12-13 says, "Giving thanks unto
the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the
saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son."
The Holy Spirit accomplished this in your life when He baptized you
into Christ: "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body…"
(1 Corinthians 12:13); that body is Christ. Christ is "Light"; so
upon the New Birth, the Holy Spirit baptized you into the "Light,"
and you became awakened to the Fatherhood of God. Thus was the veil removed
from your heart to walk in the light of God, and understand spiritual
realities.
Prayer Dear Father, I thank you for making me
a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light! I pray for the salvation
of souls all over the world today; I rebuke the prince of the power of the air,
and break his dominion over men’s lives, so that the light of the glorious
Gospel of Christ might shine in their hearts, bringing them salvation, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
